California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly)

If hiking isn't your thing, then I'd recommend a leisurely stroll around my alma mater, Cal Poly. Be sure to visit the University Union (UU) and check out the gym - probably the nicest public school gym you'll find!

Splash Cafe & Artisan Bakery

You can't visit SLO without having some Splash clam chowder. It is the best clam chowder in California... and dare I say... the nation! Definitely add on the seafood topping and a grilled cheese. If you want to picnic on the beach, visit their Pismo beach location instead (15 minutes south on the 101).

Downtown San Luis Obispo

Firestone Bar & Grill

Tri-tip sandwich, basket of seasoned fries, a beer and a spot outdoors for people watching. That's the definition of a great afternoon. When you're finished, get back in line and order another sandwich or 2 to-go. Your taste buds will thank you later.

Mother's Tavern

I guess the kids are calling it "MoTav" now, but when I went to school in SLO, it was "Mother's." The bartenders make delicious shots if you just tell them what you like, and there is plenty of space for mingling and/or dancing.
